Late Night Thoughts

So its 12:12 AM, and by all technicalities...its literally "the wee hours of the morning." I'm going to just pretend it's not quite 12 yet. Cool? ...cool.
Tess and I are quite the duo. Seriously, I've never had a connection with such an amazing girl before. She's witty, beautiful, sarcastic (definitely a must), and totally tolerant of my silly antics. If you know me at all (or have read any of my post thus far) you know that i'm a total dork, and she loves it! She takes the good and the bad when it comes to ole' Joe. This is not only rare, but cherished. I've simply never met anyone in the same caliber as this fine young lady. Of course, there are times when we start to argue, but are able to quickly resolve our issues. Even if she is a little stubborn sometimes. =]
We have had an interesting day today. Somehow we both got today off work/school, and just got to sit and talk on one of our many skype dates that last throughout the day. We love to play these games where we get to know one another, and today we played "either/or." For example: "Tessa, which do i like more,...Salt and Vinegar chips...or BBQ!?""
We love doing this to re-establish our connection and continue to learn about each other, in hopes of continually bettering our connection.
By the way i love Salt and Vinegar chips...and yes she knew that instantly when i asked.
The reason i mention this is so that we all remember that no matter how much we love our special someone, its never a bad idea to continually connect with them. Find out more of their likes and dislikes, favorites things, and places they'd love to go one day. Don't stop studying your loved one when you get them. Instead, treat them as if you are dating and learn more about them!
When Tess wants to play one of those games it instantly lets me know "shes wanting to connect and play, she's so thoughtful!"

Shes amazes me to no end.

I pray that you find yourself seeking knowledge of your loved one, just as we continually seek knowledge of the Father and His word in our everyday lives.
